Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 15 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup salted butter, firm but not cold*
1 cup + 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp red food coloring
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp distilled white vinegar
1 recipe Cream Cheese Frosting, recipe follows
Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cup salted butter, firm but not cold (if using unsalted add 1/8 tsp salt)
6 oz cream cheese, cold (I recommend using Philadelphia brand in this recipe)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Red and blue food coloring, for decor (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder and baking soda, set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, with an electric hand mixer on medium speed, whip together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in eggs one at a time stirring after each addition. (Now stand back and change out of any nice shirt you have on and) Add red food coloring and vanilla extract and mix until combine. In a small mixing bowl (or in the measuring cup you used to measure milk), combine milk and 1 tsp vinegar. Add milk mixture and flour mixture to cupcake mixture, alternating in two separate batches, mixing until combine after each addition. Divide batter evenly among 15 paper lined muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in preheated oven 18-21 minutes until toothpick inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool about 2 minutes in muffin tin, then transfer to wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to an airtight container to cool completely (this just helps them retain more moisture). Once cooled completely, spread generously with Cream Cheese Frosting (just as sprinkles does, lots of frosting!). *I warmed the butter in the microwave for about 9-10 seconds on HIGH power in a small microwave safe bowl, basically you don't want it softened but not cold either. Just in between the two. Also, alternately you could use unsalted butter and add 1/4 tsp salt to the recipe. I just always keep salted butter on hand so I wanted the recipe to use salted. So if you use salted you don't need to add any salt to the recipe. Cream Cheese Frosting In a large mixing bowl, using and electric mixer, whip together butter and cream cheese until pale and fluffy (about 1 minute on high speed, then 3-4 minutes on medium high speed). Mix in vanilla extract. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. If doing optional infamous Sprinkles Cupcakes dot on top then scoop out a few tablespo

If doing optional infamous Sprinkles Cupcakes dot on top then scoop out a few tablespoons frosting into two separate bowls and tint with food coloring (lots of red in the one and barely any blue in the other). Spread a small circle of red on top followed by a small light blue, use a toothpick to spread if needed (it helped me get a more circular shape around the edges with its finer point).

Tips:

  • Use a natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder for the red velvet batter. Dutch-process cocoa powder has a darker color and a more intense chocolate flavor than natural cocoa powder.
  • Buttermilk gives the cupcakes a tender and moist crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for creating a smooth and even cupcake batter. Be sure to cream them together for at least 2 minutes.
  • Adding the eggs one at a time and beating well after each addition helps to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense cupcakes.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a star tip to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes for a classic look.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.
  • Sprinkles are a fun and easy way to decorate the cupcakes. You can use any kind of sprinkles you like.

Conclusion:

Red velvet cupcakes are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect red velvet cupcakes every time.
